Hello,
I don't really understand what the problem is or what you are asking really. Sorry. Maybe you could describe the exact situation again.

Hello.
So the car over heats while in motion leads me to think the water pump may be the problem. If your just sitting and idling the car will warm up and sart the fan. My S55 warms up and starts the fan pretty quickly here in Maine which has a similar climate to Sweden.
So where in Sweden are you? My family has a house in Stromstad.

When the fan kicks on what is the reading on your temperature guage?

Curious to see if truly overheating, did you replace the thermostat with the oem or did you get one from a universal parts store? What temperature is rated on the thermostat you replaced?
On my ML430 when the A/C is on the electric fan does kick on more often, I do not notice that symptom on the S55.

A lot of vehicles have 2 temperature sensors on the engine cooling system, not sure if yours has 2 or 1. One of them is for the dash board gauge reading, and the other is for the fan, through a relay or computer. If the one for the fan is going bad it will either send false info or no info at all. This may cause the fan to either come on at the wrong temp or not come on at all. Hope this helps

Hi
the thermostat is oem bought from mercedes
This even happends when i start the car,engine cold
I can feel thats something is ON when it shouldnt..... but only when i drive.
Standing still with engine on i cant hear or feel anything except when gear in P and i hit the pedal full and when it returns back to almost idling i can feel like there is something on 1100rpm, like the webasto is on but it isnt.........
I have been reading soooooo much about the icpump and i cant find any answers;(
which one should i buy guys? sls?
Not interested in meziere or johnsson.....

When engine is warm my coolant water tempeture is about 95-98c i dont know in F hehehehe is this normal?
Yesterday my friend looked on the star computer and found that the left sensor airfilter is full and needs to be changed but they are new!!!!
We changed from left to right still the same, we changed the left sensor to the right and still the left cylinder airfilter full...........
We took of the left cooler down to turbo and no leaking etc.... everything looked normal.....
we took the car out for a drive with star computer on and it shows that this sensor react when we hit 5000rpm.......
The car goes perfect, no cutting etc..... very very strange things hehehehe

when you changed the thermostat did you change the whole housing including the temperature sensor? The sensor is likely your problem, not the thermostat.
